Chapter 161

He finished the call not long after and reached out to Sylvia. “This way, Ms. Ross.”.

Sylvia followed him to the elevator. The elevator went straight up to the top floor. Cliff sent her to the doorof the large office and left after pushing open the door.

Inside the spacious office, Odell was sitting on the leather chair behind the desk. He wore a black dressshirt that hugged his broad shoulders and his narrow waist. The color of his shirt also made his originallyindifferent disposition much colder, so much so that people did not dare to approach him.

When Sylvia looked at him, his deep gaze was already locked on her.

She continued to wheel herself in without changing her expression. She stopped at his desk and asked,“Why did you meet Alister? Did she tell you about the things that Tara ordered her to do?”

Odell looked at her in silence for a moment before asking, “Why do you want to see me?”

Odell pursed his lips and simply looked at her. He did not respond even after a long time.

Sylvia ran out of patience and said, “Alister should have told you that she was instructed by Tara, andwhat I told you before is also true. The relationship between Tristan and me isn’t the kind that you think itis. I didn’t make him go on a hunger strike against his parents, and I didn’t do anything underhanded.”

Her face was pure, and her gaze was clear and honest.

Odell remembered how she looked yesterday afternoon at the awards ceremony. She was also asconfident as she was now when she was posing for pictures with others on stage. When he remainedsilent, she continued, “Although my assets aren’t as extravagant as yours, they’re enough for me to live agood life. I don’t need to rely on men to obtain anything at all.”

Odell thought of the small villa she was currently renting. He previously thought that Tristan paid the rentfor her. Back then, she had angrily told him that she rented it herself, but he had not believed her.

After that, she repeatedly said that she had no relationship with Tristan, but he did not believe her either.

Then, she beat Tara up, was caught by him, and left with Tristan.

After that, she should have gone to Alister, but something suddenly happened to Aunt Tonya. TheLedgers and the Rosses forced her to marry Michael, so she did not have time to bring Alister to him.

Then, he watched coldly as she was humiliated, trying to make her understand that Tristan was not agood person for her at all.

In the end, she turned up at the art competition awards ceremony as Sunflower, inadvertently givingeveryone including him a tight slap on the face. However, if she had just told him that she was Sunflowerwhen he suspected that Tristan paid her rent, all these misunderstandings would have been avoided!

His eyes darkened, and he finally said, “There’s nothing between Tristan and you, but that doesn’t meanthere’s nothing between you and other men.”

Sylvia instantly frowned. “Don’t be unreasonable, Odell. Where do you see other men around

me?”

Sylvia did not bother to explain further and said directly, “Anyway, since you already know that there’snothing between Tristan and me, I want to see Isabel and Liam!” Odell raised his brows. “Sure.” Sylvia’seyes lit up. “But you have to give me a 10,000 word reflective essay.” Sylvia was dumbfounded. ‘Healready knows that I have nothing to do with Tristan. Why is he still asking me to wr reflective essay? Ishe insane?’

Sylvia wanted to curse at him. Odell said, “If you dare to curse at me, I’ll add another 5,000 words.”
